THEN AND NOW

In 1980, J Farren-Price hosted their inaugural Patek Philippe exhibition titled "7 Crafts of Patek Philippe," showcasing the intricate craftsmanship behind the brand’s exquisite timepieces. Held in the J Farren-Price boutique, the exhibition introduced Australian watch enthusiasts to the precision and mastery that define Patek Philippe.

Now 44 years later, J Farren-Price is proud to once again celebrate Patek Philippe’s artistry with the upcoming 2024 exhibition, "Passion for Workmanship." This event will reflect the evolution of Patek Philippe’s craft while celebrating the core values uniting both family businesses for decades. It offers a unique opportunity to witness how Patek Philippe’s dedication to tradition and innovation remains as strong as ever.
